Now that we have xxx domains

by Amrit Hallan on June 27, 2010

The porn websites will now have their own .xxx top level domain name prefixes, just like the way you have .com and .org or these days, .tv (for TV websites). Some people are thrilled (who have been missing some porn websites simply because it wasn’t clear if it were really porn sites) and some are angry (those religious losers) that it is an attempt to legitimize a nefarious activity on the Internet.

Two good things are there if we have clearly defined TLD prefixes:

  • Websites can be easily accessed
  • Websites can be easily blocked

So it’s a win-win situation for both the parties.

It’s high time we also had TLD prefixes for political websites (.pol), propaganda websites (.propaganda), Maoist websites (.mao) and Jihadi websites (.jihad). Then there can be games websites (.game), religious websites (.rel), news websites (.news). It’ll be interesting to have prefixes for all the niches because one, it’ll be easier to recognize them, and two, all of a sudden there will be so many new domains available for booking. It can be a multi-billion dollar business.
